Chaos Divine Wheel!!
As the name suggests, this divine wheel could nurture the chaotic Qi within the dantian, deriving a chaotic dantian with endless spiritual power.
Under the same realm, the spiritual power contained within the Chaos Divine Wheel would be ten or even a hundred times that of ordinary prodigies.
"In that case, let's give the Three Thousand Dao Prefectures an even bigger shock."
Ye Xiao grinned and abruptly clenched both hands.
Instantly, the Chaos Divine Wheel within his dantian spun and hummed, swallowing the spiritual power of the Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill entirely.
"Rrumble."
Across ten thousand miles of heaven and earth, divine lightning surged.
Mountains, immortal pavilions, true dragons, and great phoenixes shifted and alternated, re-deriving the universe.
And Ye Xiao's realm climbed abruptly at this moment.
Divine Wheel First Layer!
Divine Wheel Second Layer!
Divine Wheel Third Layer!
Divine Wheel Fourth Layer!
...
Divine Wheel Seventh Layer!!
Until his realm broke through to the Divine Wheel Seventh Layer, it finally began to stabilize.
Even so, the Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill in Ye Xiao's dantian remained unconsumed, with only a tenth of its spiritual essence integrated.
Yet he had to go out, because... the seven days were up.
"Hehehe, my wife, I'm coming."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for gifting the Heavenly Mandate Goddess a divine shadow movement technique, obtaining a ten-thousand-fold critical return reward: Supreme Clear Dragon-Roaming Step (Supreme-level Law).]
As usual, Ye Xiao headed straight for the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty. After delivering the fortune without a word of nonsense, he returned directly to the Ye family grounds, once again entering seclusion to cultivate, leaving Gu Mingyue standing in the main hall with a dazed expression, her Dao Heart in utter chaos.
She wished nothing more than for Ye Xiao to curse her, whip her, and hurt her just like in her past life.
That way, once the seal of her Nirvana Seal was broken, she could crush him to death without hesitation.
Yet, the current Ye Xiao was meticulous and unwavering in his devotion to her, making it hard to catch even a glimpse of that demon lord.
Over the next half month, Ye Xiao always arrived at the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty punctually every seven days, showering Gu Mingyue with various spiritual treasures and magical artifacts.
And from this Supreme Empress, he similarly harvested even more terrifying fortuitous encounters.
Stellar Dharma Robe, Supreme Clear Dragon-Roaming Step, Void Divine Talisman...
Armed with these life-saving trump cards, Ye Xiao could finally consider himself somewhat firmly established on the path of a villain.
At the very least, he wouldn't go out to grind a dungeon, act tough, and get his head blown off by a child of destiny, ending the story prematurely.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully gifting the Child of Destiny the Ape Demon Body-Refining Technique, obtaining a ten-thousand-fold critical return reward: God and Demon Indestructible Scripture (Supreme-level Law).]
"Hmm?"
At that very moment, a system prompt suddenly sounded beside Ye Xiao's ear.
Within his Soul Sea Realm, a ten-thousand-foot god and demon dharma image instantly materialized, surging with the purest ripples of power.
"God and Demon Indestructible Scripture!!"
Ye Xiao's pupils trembled, a genuine smile blooming on his face.
From the look of it, his good-for-nothing younger brother, Ye Fan, should have already entered the mysterious mountain village and started cultivating diligently for his upcoming revenge.
All Ye Xiao needed to do was wait patiently until Ye Fan fully recovered his cultivation and appeared before him, at which point he could step in and teach him a proper lesson.
Pesky little brothers, aren't they just meant for beating?
As Ye Xiao closed his eyes and concentrated, integrating this god and demon dharma image into his blood, bones, and flesh, he immediately felt a terrifying, gigantic strength flood every part of his body.
According to the records of this supreme-level law, there were a total of forty trillion cells within the human body.
And the God and Demon Indestructible Scripture could condense a god and demon particle within each and every cell.
The power contained in a single god and demon particle reached a terrifying ten thousand catties of force.
Once this scripture reached great completion, Ye Xiao would possess the divine strength of four hundred trillion catties, truly shattering all paths with sheer force.
"Hum."
Over the next three days, Ye Xiao remained in his bedchamber, cultivating the God and Demon Indestructible Scripture.
aided by the spiritual power of the Supreme Foundation Establishment Pill, the god and demon particles within his body quickly reached a count of one thousand, equivalent to possessing a gigantic strength of ten million catties.
Such power was sufficient to rival the peak of the Mahayana Realm, completely beyond the ability of contemporaries to contend with.
"Clang."
At that exact moment, the sound of a bell suddenly echoed above the Ye family grounds.
A myriad of rosy clouds and surging divine mists filled the air.
In an instant, the entire Ye family erupted into a boil.
The elders of the nine branches and various clansmen stepped out of their divine palaces and grand halls one after another, converging toward the Ye family's divine hall.
Today was the day of the Ye family's Divine Son battle, where all nine sequential heirs would have the opportunity to vie for the position of Divine Son.
Once anyone claimed this seat, they would become the successor to the next Patriarch of the Ye family, gaining the full support of all nine branches.
Although the Ye family encouraged the sequential heirs of the nine branches to fight among themselves in order to select the strongest successor, the Ye family's Divine Son was truly the one desired by all, bearing the honor and disgrace of the Ye family.
"Has it begun?"
Ye Xiao slowly rose to his feet, stretched his muscles and bones, and walked out of the hall.
If he remembered correctly, after securing the position of Divine Son, not only would he be able to cultivate in the Divine Son's cave dwelling, but he would also inherit the Ye family's supreme treasure, the Ancient Soul-Suppressing Stone.
By this point, he was already somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of terrifying fortuitous encounter this treasure would yield after a ten-thousand-fold return.
Meanwhile, within the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty.
Gu Mingyue sat gracefully at her desk, holding an ancient scroll, yet her eyes drifted toward the direction of the hall's entrance from time to time.
Over this past month, she had completely grasped Ye Xiao's routine and habits.
Every seven days, this fellow would descend upon the imperial palace to present her with spiritual materials and fortunes.
After completely refining that eighth-rank fortune pill, Gu Mingyue was astonished to find that the seal on her Nirvana Seal was actually gradually loosening.
And her cultivation had consequently recovered to the Divine Wheel Realm.
Logically speaking, today was the seventh day, yet Ye Xiao had delayed his appearance.
Where had he gone?
Could it be that because Gu Mingyue had given him no response whatsoever over the past month, he had given up?
Gu Mingyue put down the scroll in her hand, a trace of faint grievance lingering within her beautiful eyes.
"Mingyue, didn't you go to the Ye family?"
Just then, a melodious and ethereal female voice rang out from outside the hall.
A girl in cyan robes stepped inside, looking at Gu Mingyue with a face full of astonishment.
As the guardian divine beast of the Immortal Phoenix Ancient Dynasty, Qingniao looked youthful, but was actually ten thousand years old.
"The Ye family? Why should I go to the Ye family?"
Gu Mingyue furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her tone indifferent.
"Today is the Ye family's Divine Son battle. As Ye Xiao's fiancée, shouldn't you care about him a little?"
Qingniao raised an eyebrow at Gu Mingyue, speaking in a teasing tone.
"The Divine Son battle?"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyue's pretty face froze, and the trace of resentment deep within her heart gradually dissipated.
So that was it...
"What does the Divine Son battle have to do with me? I'd rather he get beaten to death by the other Ye family sequential heirs."
"Oh? Then what are you..."
Watching Gu Mingyue walk toward the entrance of the hall, Qingniao's wide eyes were filled with confusion.
"A secret realm seems to have appeared in the Central Holy Prefecture recently; I'm going to see if I can obtain some fortuitous encounters."
With those words, Gu Mingyue tapped her delicate feet, her phoenix robes fluttering as she stepped into a white jade spirit carriage, heading in the direction of the Ye family.
